  • Tip Rating:
  • Parisians like square trees. They prune these poor guys within an inch of their life! It's not unattractive but definately caught my eye as it was the norm in Paris proper as well as in the suburbs.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Everybody has a dog but they're pretty well mannered. :) This dog's name is 'Nelson'. The waiter explained that he was the owner of the cafe were we had our lunch. He sat at the table next to ours. Is that Pernod I see...?

    Stereotypes: Rude, or friendly?: Don't be a butthead. You have...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Don't be a butthead. You have to get used to being elbow to elbow with the person at the table next to you at restaurants and sidewalk cafe's. Parisians are used to this closeness and will completely ignore you. They're not being rude! They're respecting your space. Respect their's in kind. American's seem to think that just because you're next to someone you have to talk to them. That doesn't apply in Paris.

     I really love the photo of the dog Nelson. You get a feel for his personality. Very nice.

     Great photos and comments about Paris, especially the thrill of seeing the Eiffel Tower over your shoulder ( even better at night). Happy Birthday to you too. May they continue to treat your countenance with kindness and beauty.
